Job Description for Pastors
Many details need to be considered when creating a compensation package for a pastor. The Missionary Church urges churches not to gloss over planning this carefully in your expression of love for your pastor(s). Taking advantage of various tax benefits can save both pastor and church time and money in the long run.
Some of the items to be taken into consideration are outlined in the tabs below. However, this Guidestone guide is a comprehensive approach to what to consider.
Here is the latest information from the Missionary Church related to pastor’s salaries and here is the latest statistical information on salaries throughout the MC.
This site sponsored by the Lilly Endowment uses the Church Law and Tax listed below and draws together into one searchable platform information on salary levels, a salary calculator, job comparisons, retirement and debt calculators, and more. For a small fee, congregations can receive a one-time report related to a specific job, or they can pay an annual fee for unlimited access.
ChurchLaw&Tax, a ministry of Christianity Today, has a Compensation Handbook available for purchase at their store.
